    Its nothing to do with sob stories

    Last year my bill was payed and reasonable amount for utility bill and just put that nothing extra added and I was picked
    Ours is a bit of a sob story but i dont care as its true. We have no heating as our boiler broke months ago and we cant afford to fix it.It is so cold we all sit under duvets! So to be honest it is more of a neccesity than any other payment we have.
    So fair play to a sob story if it is genuine i say (it is a comp so if it helps you win, hey).Quoted the wrong person.ooopps

    I think it was me you wanted to quote.

    I was mearly pointing out the few i'd heard called out had abit of a "sob" story to them. I wasnt saying this was a bad thing, It sounds like the people who won the cash have obviously needed it.

    However Scottishfreebiehunter says its not a factor, as they won last year so it may not be i was curious whether what you wrote about needing the money gave you more of a chance of winning it thats all.

    Good Luck!

    I think that's just the sad state of play at the moment. Everyone is struggling, me included. Where's Simon Bates when you need him, eh? ;)
